Engine management light comes on, I get indicated full boost on both my displays but feels like half the power.
Switch off ignition and all good then a few minutes later engine management light on and same thing, feels like half power but indicating I’m getting the boost I’ve selected.
Car isles fine, no sudden stuttering or cutting out or similar. Just engine management light comes on and put my foot down blitz dial solenoid boost controller and omori dash boost gauge indicate the boost I’ve set it to but feels like I’m back in a non turbo MR2.
Any ideas off the top of people’s heads?

How do I do that?
It’s back at the garage tomorrow to get the reader on it.

I very much doubt an OBD reader will work, IIRC the MK2 isn't OBD (I or II) compliant, you'll need to use this method https://www.mr2oc.co.uk/know-your-2/mk2 ... bartid=162
Black is not a colour ! .... Its the absence of colour

Well I thought I’d found the problem as I couldn’t get decent fuel and put the “normal” stuff in. Put in V-Power and all was well, until yesterday when it started again.
Are the knock sensors the same on the N/A and Turbo?
